I've got a bunch of these. I got mine three weeks ago, so they're settling in nicely now. I posted a picture of one, (in the New Siam Ruby thread) but my camera is broken, and the picture was taken with a cell phone camera, so it's not too good.

How are they growing for you. they look a bit tender compared to some of my other juvenile Musa maybe its because there TC i have what i affectionately refer to as the jet turbine (humidifier) right next to them but not blowing on them they really perked up with in a cupal of hr they came with some polymerized gel so i put some of that in with them to help with the dryness growing in NV is an exercise in water management you have to water allot here but its a fine line between over and under iv learned over 10 years time to really be careful you have to watch your plants like a hawk last year which was the fist year for the bananas out side i had two plants go in to photo respiration and they stayed that way for months I'm going to shade every thing more this year i was thinking that the lighter green of the Margarita mite be a good characteristic for the high UV levels we have Lighter = cooler dark green leafs burn up faster here thanks for commenting
